<h2>Sizes</h2>


<p>The following type size commands, in order of increasing font

    size, are supported by LaTeX.</p>


<ul>

    <li><tt><a href="ltx-328.html">\tiny</a></tt></li>

    <li><tt><a href="ltx-309.html">\scriptsize</a></tt></li>

    <li><tt><a href="ltx-233.html">\footnotesize</a></tt></li>

    <li><tt><a href="ltx-317.html">\small</a></tt></li>

    <li><tt><a href="ltx-282.html">\normalsize</a></tt> (default)</li>

    <li><tt><a href="ltx-253.html">\large</a></tt></li>

    <li><tt><a href="ltx-254.html">\Large</a></tt> (capital "L")</li>

    <li><tt><a href="ltx-255.html">\LARGE</a></tt> (all caps)</li>

    <li><tt><a href="ltx-242.html">\huge</a></tt></li>

    <li><tt><a href="ltx-243.html">\Huge</a></tt> (capital "H")</li>

</ul>


<p>The default for <tt>\normalsize</tt> is 10-point, but it may differ

    for some <a href="ltx-22.html">Document Styles</a> or their options.

    The actual size produced by these commands also depends on the Document

    Style and, in some styles, more than one of these size commands may produce

    the same actual size.</p>


<p>The new size takes effect immediately after the size command;

    if an entire paragraph or unit is set in a certain size, the size command

    should include the blank line or the <tt>\end{}</tt> which delimites

    the unit. (See <a href="declarations.html">Declarations</a>.)</p>


<p>These commands cannot be used in <a href="ltx-130.html">math mode</a>.

    However, part of a formula may be set in a different size by using

    an <tt><a href="ltx-265.html">\mbox</a></tt> command containing the

    size command.</p>
